Abstract：Objective To retrospectively analyze the effect of enteral nutrition therapy on patients' rehabilitation after radical resection of esophageal cancer. Methods The clinical data on 60 patients undergoing radical esophageal cancer surgery in our hospital between January 2019 and June 2020 was retrospectively analyzed. A jejunostomy tube was placed intraoperatively. The enteral nutrition infusion rate was increased from 20 ml/h to 100 ml/h and the enteral nutrient solution dosage was increased from 500 ml/d to 1000 ml/d on d1-d7 postoperatively. Blood nutrition indexes, postoperative nutrition-related complications, fasting time, bed rest time, indwelling time of the jejunal nutrition tube, and average hospital stay were analyzed. Results Levels of total protein (TP) and prealbumin (PAB) were decreased one day after surgery (POD1), but they were increased on POD3 and POD7 compared with POD1. The albumin level hardly changed over these days. The rate of nutrition-related complications was 23.30%, with one patient developing anastomotic fistula. The patients' average fasting time was (5.52±0.50) days after operation, the average bed rest time was (35.78±7.33) hours, the average postoperative tube indwelling time was (47.70±15.52) days, and the average postoperative hospital stay was (9.60±2.20) days. Conclusions Enteral nutrition therapy after radical resection of esophageal cancer is safe and effective, which can facilitate patients' recovery from surgery.
